Archetypes

After reading the archetype introduction book, I find it sort of interesting that you can change archetypes throughout your life. Based on what you go through can determine the archetype you display. This doesn’t sit very well with me. I feel like you have characteristics that stick out and make you who you are. Shouldn’t you always be the same archetype because it reflects your personal characteristics? I can understand experiences shape you as a person and can change you for the better or worse. Maybe over there could be a slight shift in a person’s archetype but he or she would still hold close to his or her’s original one. The book made a comment about every six months taking this assessment to see which type you are displaying or story you are living at that time in your life.  I think that would make you not identify with a specific archetype and not be able to truly fine tune your leadership style. Reading the different type of archetypes it is clear to see how each displays different leadership types. It was obvious for me to see which I identified with and which ones people I am close to could represent.
